Why our guests

Love Staying Here

We hosted Friendsgiving here! Compound was perfect. Offered additional space for women to have their own room and separate family rooms and patios to enjoy. We absolutely loved the space and were able to take cute photos with the beautiful decor! Thank you again.

The space was perfect for our large group. From the description we did believe that one of the bedrooms was actually a room however it was not. Meaning one of the guests was basically sleeping in the kitchen which is not ideal. The home was vacant when we arrived but when asking to check in earlier than 4 pm we were asked to pay 75$ per hour(more than 3 hours was a full nights rate) to check in earlier. Something I have never experienced before and was quite disappointing. When checking out the host asked us if we were checking out early so that the cleaning could be done earlier so it would have been nice if the same gesture would have been given when we were in need of the space early and not being charged. The space itself was perfect and no issues. Those 2 issues just left everyone with a sour taste.

My family needed a nice, clean and comfortable home to stay for our family reunion vacation. HTX Pads did not disappoint! The home was very clean and had so much space to where you did not feel crowded. Bathrooms were very clean with extra towels if needed. Equipped with all the cleaning supplies and detergent if you needed to wash. The host was very responsive and communicated throughout our entire stay. The backyard was very spacious and the pool was the right temperature. The barnyard home was just as cozy and very inviting for extra guest. I recommend this home if you are staying in Houston. Our overall experience was amazing with the host making us feel right at home. Thank you HTX for providing a wonderful stay!

Our stay was awesome and we felt at home. The kids loved everything there was to offer for them. The connection game out by pool, arcade games located in Unit B.

The house it self accommodated our whole party, but we did not like location at all. Wasn’t in the nice part of Houston for the price we paid for 3 nights which made it not worth it. The pool was much smaller than it looked. But when we did have issues the owners was very responsive and accommodating with all of our needs the host was great.

From the start of the booking process, the host was incredibly diligent and clear in communication, ensuring that both our needs and hers were aligned for a smooth reservation. The home comfortably accommodated our group of 12, with plenty of space for sleeping and gathering, especially for our bachelorette festivities. Both units were clean, well-maintained, and stocked with all the essentials we needed for our stay. The decor struck a perfect balance—modern and inviting—so we barely needed to add any decorations of our own. The location was also ideal, perfectly complementing our downtown Houston itinerary. Any time we had a question or minor issue, the host was responsive and either addressed it immediately or sent someone over promptly. If in Houston again, I would absolutely consider staying at another HTX Pads property. While there’s always room for tiny improvements here and there, this experience exceeded expectations and made our celebration weekend truly memorable.

Exceptional Stay at a Cozy Retreat! Rating: ★★★★★ My group had a fantastic experience staying at HTX Pads. The location was perfect—close to local attractions yet tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. The houses was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, making it feel like a home away from home. Host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, providing great recommendations for restaurants and activities. The check-in process was a little choppy but the host responded quickly and we had no issues afterwards. We loved the pool. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Especially if you have a large group. I can’t wait to come back!

We came to Texas for my sisters celebration of life and booked this fantastic place. It’s set up like 2 houses and the pool is in the middle. 2 seperate kitchens, 16 foot ceilings, great AC, fun life size games to play, and an overall fun and funky vibe. Our host was super responsive checking in on our stay and answering any questions or concerns we had. I highly recommend staying here! Five stars!

This was a staycation for me when five friends came to visit for the rodeo. Communication was excellent from the start and throughout our stay. The location is a great location for quick drives into the Heights, Downtown, Montrose, and the Museum District. The setup was perfect for our group of six adults, with big communal spaces for meals and hanging out. The pool area is so cool, and we were so happy it was heated. Overall a great experience. I would definitely recommend the HTX Pad for a great Houston experience!

Never judge a book by its cover. My family was very skeptical about this place as they saw the outside and did not think it was going to meet their expectations. This place is an absolute gem and there is an "AHA moment" around every corner. I have never rented an Airbnb that was so organized. You can tell that the hosts took time and care to accommodate all needs and that they put forth the effort to make this place enjoyable and a home away from home. It has so much character and the energy and vibrations were so positive, as I slept so well each night. The design and furniture are fun and artsy and the ambiance just makes you happy. The host Katy was AMAZING! I did not have to communicate much because everything was perfect but when I did she was very responsive. I did not want to leave as "a good time was had." Everyone loved it. I recommend this home, and I will be back for sure. Thank you, Katy and the crew! Sending you all Love & Light until next time.

Our stay at the house and barn was excellent and it was just as described. The check-in and check-out process was seamless, and the management team had great communication. The two separate properties are connected via a private yard so if feels like you have your own little resort. The weather didn’t cooperate for our group to use the pool, but it was clean and inviting. We’d happily stay again.

July 2024
This was a great place, very accommodating for a large group. The hosts were very responsive and helpful when we had any questions or issues. There are a number of gates and doors with codes to help the property feel secure. The location is also great if you are visiting Houston, not too far from the airport or from attractions in the city. The pool isn't very large, but was fun for my group. The barn is spacious and great for convening a group. All in all this was a great location, particularly for large groups.

Seven adults and eight kids stayed for 6 days to compete in a robotics championship at the GB Convention Center. The property was great for our purposes. Super clean and plenty of beds and bedrooms. The pool was a big hit with the kids and the outdoor space in front of the barn was appreciated by the adults. Having two kitchens was convenient for feeding such a large crowd nightly. The only hiccups were wifi that stopped working but the host was very responsive and fixed the issue. We were very careful to keep any noise down after 10 pm, but some of the neighbors clearly didn't get the same memo ;-). Not a big issue. Everyone slept well. All in all, it was a fantastic experience. We would come back in a heartbeat if Htx's property was available.

My family came in town for my niece’s graduation. We were looking for a place that was large enough to comfortably host 15 people and this place did just that! There were several sleeping areas and the common areas were spacious enough for us all to comfortably come together and catch up. The Host checked in daily to make sure our stay was going well. She also responded almost immediately when I messaged her with questions. I 100% recommend this place. Also, the location is perfect!
